Last weekend I wanted to do some shopping for the coming Ramadan so I went to the market. Upon getting there, I realised the money won't be enough to buy everything I needed due to increase in prices of most food stuff so I had to start cutting and prioritising my list.

I was almost leaving the market before remembering milk. I went to the provision store and the only affordable milk the woman had was Cowbell. I can't remember the last time I tasted Cowbell milk but since I didn't have a choice, I took it. After all, Milk is milk.

Fast forward to this morning, I overslept and cowldn't cook Sahur. The only fast meal I could eat was cornflakes so I opened the Cowbell milk I bought.

Mehn!!!! Things have changed. Remember those days when you'll pour Cowbell milk in water and it won't dissolve? Not anymore. The milk mixed easily and it was even cold water o. I was so impressed I had to take pictures to show my colleagues at work. The milk is so much better now, especially the taste, so creamy


I don't think it makes sense to waste my money anymore on expensive milk when it's basically the same quality, especially not in this economy. So guys, wise up.

The 2016 edition of the Cowbellpedia Secondary School Mathematics TV Quiz show will work in partnership with the National Examination Council to widen the reach to participants across the country.

Festus Tettey, Head of Marketing Promasidor Nigeria Limited explained at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday that this year’s competition will be in two stages: Qualifying Written Examination and TV Quiz Show.

Tettey added that the stage one of the Mathematics Competition is open to students from 10 – 18 years of age attending full time Secondary Education in both Public and Private Schools in Nigeria. Entry into this competition is FREE.

Each School is required to present their best ten (10) students in Mathematics (five from JSS3 and five from SSS2), irrespective of religion, tribe or state of origin, to enhance their chance of qualifying for the next stage of the competition.

Also speaking on the occasion, Managing Director of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr. Olivier Thiry acknowledged, the support of NECO, state Ministries of Education, school principals and teachers, the press and other agency partners for their continued support for the initiative over the years.

He explained from 2016, Promasidor has taken a strategic decision to bring all Mathematics intervention activities by Cowbell under one umbrella, COWBELLPEDIA.

Thiry added that the company will continue with its Mathematics intervention activity for Secondary Schools in Nigeria using the name Cowbellpedia Secondary Schools Mathematics TV Quiz Show.

Thiry also informed that the company significantly increased the prize money for the finals for both students and teachers. This year he said, the top prize student winner in each category will go home with One Million Naira in addition to other prizes, while the teacher will be awarded Four Hundred Thousand Naira.

“All these improvements are to underscore Promasidor’s effort to provide a credible platform that discovers, recognizes and rewards excellence in Mathematics, a critical component of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in Nigeria. This is in addition to the quality nutrition that is provided by the Cowbell brand for the nourishment of the Nigerian populace especially children,” he said.

In order to encourage the Girl Child Education, Thiry appealed that Mixed Secondary Schools must nominate minimum two (2) girls for each category to represent such school. “This is our own little way of encouraging the girl child to take interest in education especially the STEM courses,” he said.

The winner this year will go home with a cash of one million naira, a medal, a trophy and an all-expense paid vacation. The first and the second runner-up will take N750,000 and N500,000 respectively. There will also be a plaque, mathematics textbooks and a desktop computer for the winners.

See hen, I've always heard stories about how some people come up with their best efforts under pressure, I totally experienced it first hand this weekend. So I went over to my boyfriend - Tayo's house to see him and while I was going I branched at an eatery to get a bucket of chicken and chips for both of us cuz he complained he was hungry and knowing how lazy he is, I knew he wouldn't have any reasonable ingredients at home.

I got there, we ate and were just watching movies when we heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw his mum. I had never met his mum in my life. I was so scared, all the stories I've heard about the woman had been scary. She came in looking really tired and stressed. I greeted her and Tayo just said Mummy meet Sophiat. She managed to smile and say hello. In my mind I was like "hen hen, mo ti te" I wasn't sure how to react but I just kept calm.

She settled down and started narrating how she just returned to Lagos from a journey but her luggage was misplaced. She was told to come back to the park in 3 hours and she thought she would come wait in Tayo's place since it was closer than her house. She immediately asked if there was food and Tayo replied no.

You can imagine how embarrassed I was standing there with my future mother-in-law (hopefully) and there was no food to even offer her. I understand it wasn't my house but I was desperate to make a good first impression especially knowing how tough the woman is. I don't even know what got into me but I ha told her to hold on, I'll fix something.

I got into Tayo's kitchen and saw he only had raw rice, garri and vegetable oil. Would have gone to the market which was 30 minutes away but knowing that the woman was really hungry, I didn't want to waste time. So I stepped out of the house and within a few yards, I saw a mallam's store. I went there and bought tomato paste ground pepper, and seasoning. Aboki said he only had Onga seasoning (which I've never used), I didn't care , I just collected it and ran back home.

I got back into the house and cooked the fastest concoction rice in history. Oh boy, I didn't know how I did it or I got the skills. I made the jollof rice like that o. Maybe it was the pressure or need to impress, whatever it was the rice came out really good. I mean super good. One of the best I've tasted. I served the woman, used the remaining chicken from the bucket of chicken I bought to support it and she ate every last drop. She managed to crack a smile afterwards and Tayo was just there looking amazed like what the hell just happened.

I have to say I have never felt so proud of myself. The whole thing looked like a nollywood movie as it happened but abeg, husbands are scarce, a lady's gotta do what she gotta do.

My friend and i are in love with a guy who happens to be our 3rd friend's(who is also my best friend) elder brother.we all used to live in our friends family house cuz we couldnt get accomodation in school and along the way i became friends with her brother and he later asked me out but i turned him town.About a year later my friend started showing interest in him.it was so obvious dat people suggested to the guy to ask her out but he didnt.Now here i am,2 years later after a broken relationship from both sides he is asking me out again and this time the feeling is matual.am scared of dating him now cuz my friend still likes him and she still live in their house but i no longer live their and am no longer in town.Am scared of ruining my relationship with my friend,my bestfriend,her brother and their whole family.wat do i do¿
